So... HW still works... well, not quite without problems. Once again.
What do you think about playing during the New Year holidays? What a question! Well, during the New Year, everyone who wants to (and those who don't want to are persuaded by those who do) drinks alcoholic beverages and does nothing useful or useless... they just do nothing. Would you like to play, say, a duel tournament? But not a simple one, a magical one. "Arena of Tactical Duels" I don't know if many people are familiar with this. For those who are not familiar, would you like to try it? And for those who know what it is, would you like to just play?
These won't be duels in the pure sense. They will be tactical duels. What is that? There is a map: RandomTacticalArena More about its creators later.
It consists of an arena and a preparation area. All this is tied together in a web of scripts. The result is as follows: Each of the 2 players receives: 1) a Castle (almost fully built) 2) a random hero 3) a lot of money 4) several bonuses 5) the ability to level up to level 15 for free (there is an opportunity to get additional levels, but already for money)
Each has an Artifact Shop and a Tavern. Also, almost every Faction has its own bonuses, for example, the Warlock has a Spell Market. Each has a mentor, the ability to buy war machines and replenish mana. Movement points on the map are not limited, all preparations can be completed in one day. After preparation, both players go to the arena.
There are no extra opinions here, so everyone can express themselves. Bite.

Take two)) I kindly request that you hold the tournament a week after the New Year. I would be very grateful.

Yeah, not many visitors, but I’m participating anyway! And I recommend everyone else to join! This tournament will be interesting for both those who prefer duels and those who enjoy online battles on maps!

Leo, come on. We already had a similar tournament organized by Volk. And it wasn't very interesting; it would be better to have standard duels or a tournament on maps. And in RTA (Real-Time Arena), nothing depends on skill; it's all just luck (which hero you get, whether you're lucky with hero upgrades, whether you're lucky with the faction).
And one more question for the organizer: Will the tournament be rated, and if so, will these games – duels or maps – count towards which rating?
In Ranked Tactical Arena (RTA), nothing depends on skill; it's all pure luck (which hero you get, whether you're lucky with hero upgrades, whether you're lucky with the race).
In standard duels, there's an irreplaceable, pointless grind; I haven't seen anything worse. And random standard duels are just awful.
So why do some players do well in RTA duels, while others don't? Luck certainly plays a role, but no more than anywhere else. You can upgrade a hero in different ways, depending on the current situation. The same goes for selecting artifacts.
If everyone hates the randomness so much, you can just grind. But the question is: do you want to grind? If so, why not make it happen? Tournaments usually take place in several stages (semi-finals, finals, etc.), and absolute randomness is only present in the first stage.
And another question for the organizer: Will the tournament be ranked, and if so, will the games – duels or maps – count towards which ranking?
In general, the plan is to make it a ranked tournament :) with medals, praise, flowers, ice cream, and other goodies. This isn't maps, though. There's no economy, no battles with neutrals, no castle development, no mines, and no large number of heroes available for development.
And the goal of this tournament isn't to compete for a ranking, but to play, in a festive, New Year's spirit, over a cup of tea and a delicious cake. It's more about learning than about tactical and strategic battles. It's New Year's, after all! :smile36: But we'll still shower the winner with roses :smile49:

Shower her with roses if it's a girl))) Regarding the ranking. I suggest adding another table to the ranking next year. A table for the tactical duel ranking. And we need to find someone to keep track of it. At least one person per table. That's three in total. In general, further discussion of this issue should take place in the ranking thread.

Regarding the tournament on maps, after the New Year we'll probably come up with something ;) but everything will depend on the tournaments on the League. Unfortunately, due to the prolonged downtime of the site, many HeroesWorld players' interests have shifted there. At the moment, a tournament on the Tactical Arena is already in full swing on the League, a pair tournament on fan maps is in the launch stage, and an individual online tournament is under discussion, most likely on templates using the TE mod. All of the above is not an advertisement :) , it's just that bothering with a tournament on HeroesWorld, knowing that the lion's share of online players are involved in tournaments on another resource, is not very promising. In short, time will tell. Regarding the Tactical Arena, for me personally it is certainly an interesting game variant. At least, not being a fan of duels, I enjoy playing on the Arena. There are of course its pros and cons, but that's the case everywhere, I suppose. Regarding the duel tournament — for heaven's sake, who's against it? Go ahead, organize it, run it, but where are the organizers??? As for the ranking for games on the Arena — if I'm not mistaken, the ranking for online games on maps hasn't been calculated in almost a year....:eek:

Okay, it would be good if there were separate rankings. Separate rankings would make things more interesting. And complete randomness makes the tournament even more about luck. I agree with Lord Vampire that we should create a separate ranking for tactical duels because they can't be attributed to either maps or duels. I'm participating too, even though I'm not very good at this game. (Last place is mine again))))
Okay, if there's still a draft, that would be good. It's more interesting with a draft. And a completely random selection makes the tournament even more about luck.
Well, I don't agree that it's more interesting with a draft. All tournaments are held with a draft. But there hasn't been a random duel tournament! So, on the contrary, it would be very interesting. At least, I think so)):o

Those who either don't know how to create maps or are too lazy to do so don't like the Cherk map. In principle, it's more interesting because you have to think through various options, etc. I probably won't participate. But I think if half the tournament uses a random map and the other half uses the Cherk map, it would be a good compromise. An optimal solution, so to speak.

In general, when it comes to a strong player versus a weak player, the weak player's chances of winning are actually higher with random cards, because with the "black" deck, you get a roughly equal combination in terms of strength, but with random cards, you might get lucky... I think random cards are more interesting because they create more combinations, while the "black" deck is somehow monotonous...

Why are there so few combinations? You can make different types of marks. Large and small. This is what allows you to achieve different combinations.

Hello everyone. If a tournament is launched, I will most likely participate. Personally, I like the idea of having a random group stage and a bracket-style playoff, but I'm also open to other options. The main thing is that in the group stage, you need to play many games, and the bracket system takes a significant amount of time. Of course, with a random system, completely unplayable pairings can occur, such as an Elf Mage, in which it is simply impossible to win, but that's why the random system should only be in the group stage, where losses in such pairings won't be so critical.
